Durban is located at 29.86°S, 31.02°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Africa/Johannesburg timezone (GMT+2). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Durban this falls around 11:55 in mid-summer and 11:46 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
